Marxist-Leninists place a tremendous emphasis on meeting people where they at and attaching themselves to popular struggle, building a mass movement through the good deeds of working with others. The emphasis is on building a movement through material means. Hacktivism is just a grouping of related tricks and tactics conducive in bringing down information systems, but these tactics are not conducive in building a mass movement. It's like talking about the use of rifles as if they alone, without theory and material analysis, would be capable of bringing about communism.

Both of these posts completely miss the point of building a mass movement. The technology you use DOES NOT MATTER. "The Capitalists will sell us the rope that we will hang them with." - Lenin
THIS BEING SAID:
Use whatever technology is useful for whatever direct action is necessary, but seriously do not overthink this shit. Revolutionary orgs will use Signal or PGP or ProtonMail but I guarantee none of them are such fucking nerds that they would demand their members use GNU/Linux and learn proper network administration.

Yes, definitely. Especially as we have to reorient more and more into an increasingly urbanized environment.

Take a step back from your perspective as someone whose been using IRC for 20 years and think about the average person (even the average technically apt person).

Matrix is easier to use than IRC, like objectively.

And yes, it is safer. Not the perfect security tech, but its better than the… lets see… NO ENCRYPTION and no security that IRC offers.

 No.12611

>>12610
>all IRC is clear text
Many IRC servers allow connecting over SSL/TLS on port 6697. Authentication may be done using nickserv, optionally using SASL. For reference see https://freenode.com/kb/all for reference.
There is also work being done on a decentralized chat protocol with strong encryption resembling a subset of IRC http://pest.bitdash.io/

 No.12612

>>12611
TLS is very weak in comparison to the encryption on secured Matrix rooms. The older chat protocol that is up to par with Matrix on this is XMPP with specifically OMEMO, but IRC with TLS is way weaker to be quite clear.

 No.12627

>>12610
element is kinda janky, and the matrix bullshit about your keys every time you log out basically makes it impossible to have multiple accounts (tho i think i saw a thing that advertized u could be logged in to multiple acconts at the same, time, idk if nheko or some cli matrix bullshit)
i used to use it n got all my anarchist friends to use it, but its just not that great

i use xmpp now p much exclusively and i dont get the hype of matrix when this shit has existed forever lmao. Shit's more polished (not shiny, but works well and is stable), and you can use it over tor easily so wtf matrix??

the only thing is that omemo might not work in mucs? or is difficult at least? idk

>>12612
can u do omemo in group chats?

He's ok I think, I think I read his blog on "freetardism" which left a bad taste in my mouth, because it was stupid. Only other problem is that we have no idea who he is and whether his cybersecurity background is. Looking at his stuff now most of it seems to be informed, detailed, and mostly not cringe.

>IMO don't even begin unless you have at least 3-4 transhumanistbooted xx00-series thinkpads with either gentoo, trisquel, arch or heads, and know how to flash new MAC addresses and know how to use aircrack-ng/airsnort and know basic tradecraft.
Libreboot with "insert le epic super duper hard linux distro here" may be going a bit far in terms of baseline (speaking as a libreboot user), but the overall point is valid because all modern computers have hardware vulnerabilities in the IME and starting to switch over to linux generally is valid (but you don't need to use, literally mint or ubuntu is fine to start and then work your way up to a more hardened system, whoonix, tails, trisquel, whatever.).

bruh this thread as over 100 posts and not a single thing has been done, sure some information has been exchanged but you all were not even able to set up an communication channel which is the simplest most basic thing to even think about group hacktivism.

If people are serious there are various IRC servers with .onions but people here are clearly not serious. they like the idea of hacktivism, the nostalgia of anonops perhaps, not the reality of doing the work.

>>18806

Which IRC servers you recommend?

 No.18818

>>18817
NTA, but i looked into irc and there are several lightweight, relatively simple to configure daemons.
For something like this you could host a tor hidden service at home. Such a setup is vulnerable to traffic correlation with your regular internet activity if you don't set bandwith caps on everything, but personally i think paying for a server is a far greater liability.

 No.18828

>>18818
can you explain why paying for a server is more of a liability? assuming you're paying anonymously and with monero over tor

 No.18829

Third parties, contracts, loss of control, federal law, and a whole lotta other shit.

 No.18833

I agree, for good measure I would connect it to a cracked wifi point too.

>>18817
other leftypol has a tor accessible irc server.
anarchyplanet.org has a irc accessible tor server and like everything anarchyplanet project (a.nti.social, theanarchistlibrary.org, anarchistnews.org, etc) has an .onion address.

 No.18839

>>18829
contracts aren't a thing for any servers i've rented, you just pay and get access. They ask for PII but you just feed fake shit… on the other points, its basically one point? That the company owns the computer and can see everything that goes on in the server on it. That's fair, but isn't it best practice anyways to not say anything personally incriminating and assume you're being watched, because you don't know who other anons are or if they'll snitch eventually? So it's not like much is lost there. If they decide to take a chat down, we have backup communication here on leftypol and could just spin up another server. Subpeonas typically take a while to serve too if the gov was really involved, so it would be more of a cat and mouse thing than crippling to communication. Not that we'd get that kind of attention most likely. And encrypted communication is always better.

But fr i dont think those worries are well-founded

I have an old small print radical graffiti book that had this in as well as a few other things, i will look for it.
I had this idea of making stencils to do graffiti that goes around ATM machines i would like to do, like anti capitalist agitprop above the part the money comes from or between the letters, which i think could be quite cool and will only require taking measurements of a machine.

You need to give out keys/accounts to people for them to access the forum. Unless you do it in-person, you still have to trust strangers on the internet. Giving people IRL accounts with a number of invites is one way of building a semi-trusted forum, as long as every person giving out invites takes good care in choosing who they invite.

Ok anons, here's a subject we should discuss without glowing all over ourselves: What would you recommend a third year CS uni student (not me btw) to get on to the path of becoming le hackermmanzz? Is knowing a lot about Computer Networking useful? Cause I've put a lot of focus points into that as of late…

 No.21809

>>21808
1 - take a networking class if your university cs program has one as an elective
2 - You usually cant get into hacking right away, usually that happens after being a cybersecurity analyst or something first.
3 - Certifications: You have to get some cybersecurity (and possibly general IT) certifications. OSCP is a good one. You have to do your own research here as there are a ton of cybersec certifications and there are new ones being made. Try to focus on the ones you see most commonly in job postings
